7 Ways to Rid Yourself of Negative Energy

Just like a computer stores files, your brain stores thoughts – both positive and negative. You don’t access these thoughts every day, but they are there and can be opened at any time.

Negative energy comes into your life through thoughts, words, actions and reactions. When you take care of your body and your mind, you stand a better chance of resisting the negative influences. Energy cleansing rituals have played a part in many spiritual practices since the beginning of man. Whether you practice external or internal rituals, finding what works for you is what matters.

PROTECT YOUR MIND

Negative energy begins in your mind, so it is up to you to learn how to protect it. You can protect your mind through listening:

Listen Critically: Studies show that what you often hear shapes what you believe, so it’s important to listen with a critical ear.
Listen Selectively: News, music, other people’s conversation all play a role in forming a thought. In fact, it is as influential as having a direct conversation with someone. When you stop inviting negativity in, you will become a little bit happier and a little less negative.
Listen Visually: Take a long hard look at what you see. Negative thoughts can also enter through images on TV, in magazines and on your computer. Hide negativity in your social media feeds, watch shows that are positive in nature and flip through magazines that are inspiring.
